Study Notes
Condensation Polymers
- Condensation polymers are formed by joining together monomers with the loss of a small molecule, like water.
- An example is polyester.
- The reaction forms a new bond and removes a water molecule.
- Monomers join together with the loss of a small molecule, typically water.
